Granted: 1908-03-05
Abstract: 15,987. Wellcome, H. S., and Barger, G. July 11. Carbonates of pyrocatechol de?,ivatives, chlorine derivatives of; protocatechuic acid; carbonate of ethyl protocatechuate ; tetroxybenzil. - Chlorine derivatives of cyclic carbonates of pyrocatechol derivatives are produced by heating the methylene ethers of pyrocatechol derivatives with thionyl chloride. The carbonates yield free pyrocatechol derivatives on treatment with pyridine, boiling water, or other substances. In an example, piperonylic acid when heated with thionyl chloride yields the carbonate of protocatechuic acid chloride, from which protocatechuic acid and the carbonate of ethyl protocatechuate are easily obtained. In another example, piperonyloin when heated as above gives a carbonate which on heating with anhydrous oxalic acid yields tetroxybenzil. In a similar manner are treated hydropiperoin, methylene-3 : 4-dioxystyrene dibromide, piperonylacrylic acid, and, according to the Provisional Specification, the secondary alcohol CH2.O2.C6.H3.CHOH.CH3.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Recording Deviations in the Course of a Vessel
Inventor: FRASER JOSEPH
Filed: 1907-10-21
Granted: 1908-04-02
Abstract: 23,203. Fraser, J., Jumeaux, C., and Fraser, S. E. Oct. 21. Course recorders.-Relates to apparatus for recording on a paper ribbon the deviations of a vessel from its true course. The apparatus is contained in a casing 5, Fig. 1, mounted on gimbals in a portable box 1. The shaft 11 and roller 17 are driven through suitable gearing by the motor 8. Attached to the roller 17 is a toothed wheel 30, Fig. 4, gearing with a similar wheel 31, which is freely mounted on a shaft 32 but can be caused to rotate with the shaft by means of a friction clutch shown in Fig. 8. Mounted on the shaft is a collar 33 which fits a recess, containing a washer 27, in the wheel 31, contact being effected by means of springs 34, 39. A flanged roller 42, on which the ribbon is coiled, is mounted between pivots 36<a>, 37<a>, the latter of which is acted on by a spring within the casing 38<a>. This roller is controlled by a friction brake consisting of a screw 46. The paper passes round a roller 49, Fig. 3, below a roller 52, and over a toothed roller 17 to a roller 32, to which it is attached. The needle consists of two bar magnets 57, 58 mounted on a boss 59 rotating on a pivot 61. An inking-device 64 is attached to the boss by means of a spring 63. On the shaft 71 are pivoted the levers 68, 69, the ends of which are united by a cross-bar 70 which carries a weighted striker 74 suspended by a coiled spring 75. Mounted on the end of the lever 69 is a roller 82, which is actuated by a cam 86 fixed to the shaft 11. The other end of this shaft is provided with a cam 93 which operates a lever 95 by means of a roller 94 pivoted on it. This lever is connected to a corresponding lever 96 mounted on the same shaft by a bar 97 carrying a pad 98, which is curved, as also is the striker 74, to the path of the inking-device 64. The box is placed so that the centre line 102 of the paper is below the inking- device, and the motor is started. By means of the cams 86, 93, the striker and pad are raised, the latter gently raising the paper. The striker falls, causing the inking-device to mark the paper which on the depression of the pad is drawn on. The feeding-mechanism may be applied to the arrangement shown in Fig. 15, in which the paper is sensitized and enclosed in a slotted box. Light from a lamp 113 falls on the disk 108 which carries the magnetic needles, and passes through a small hole 112 and the slot in the box to act on the paper.

Patent GB-190723914-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electric Controlling Devices.
Filed: 1907-10-30
Granted: 1908-10-15
Abstract: 23,914. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Oct. 30. Switches.-A contact-arm operated by an electromagnet is arranged in parallel with the resistance arm of the controller so that the circuit is broken at its contacts. The circuit of the electro-magnet is completed by the initial movement of the resistance arm, or by auxiliary switches used for jogging the motor. The device may be employed to control motors driving printing - presses. A double-acting spring 16 tends to hold the controller arm 14 in the position shown, in which the brushes 20, 21, 22, 23 carried by the arm are in engagement with connecting portions of the segments 17 &c. When the arm 14 is moved in either direction, the brushes 20, 21, 23 pass on to insulating-portions 26, 27, 28 before passing on to the conducting-parts. The arm 14 also carries a brush 24, which makes contact with a stud 25 before the arm starts to cut out resistance. The core of the electro - magnetic switch 29 carries bridging-contacts 30, 31, and the latter normally closes the circuit of the no-volt coil 32. The running speed of the motor is controlled by a resistance 34 connected preferably in the shunt field circuit. The arm 35 may be placed in any position on this resistance and held by a latch 37. A key 40 is required to release the detent 39 to enable the switch arm 35 to be set. When the parts are in the positions shown, the motor can be jogged by closing one of the switches 33 and energizing the electro-magnet 29. The motor circuit is then completed from the positive main, through the series field SF, conductor 41, resistance 12, contact 30, segment 17, conductor 42, armature A, contact 19, and brushes 23, 22, to the negative main, and the resistance R is connected across the brushes. The motor then runs at a low speed, and may be brought up to normal speed by moving the arm 14. The initial movement of the arm 14 may be used, instead of one of the switches 33, to energize the solenoid 29. The circuit is completed from the positive main, through solenoid 29, conductor 43, brushes 24, 22, and segment 18, to the negative main. On further movement of the arm 14, the brush 20 cuts out the resistance 12, and the brushes 20, 21 are in parallel with the bridging- contact 30. The brush 24 passes off the contact 25, and the electro-magnet 29 is de-energized so that its core drops, thus closing the circuit of the no-volt coil 32 across the contact 31. The motor can be stopped by closing one of the switches 33 to open the circuit of the coil 32. The arm 14 returns to its 'off' position, and by opening the switch 33 employed the motor circuit is broken at the contact 30. Or, if the switch 33 is opened quickly, the circuit of the electro-magnet 29 will be completed across the contacts 24, 25 as the arm 14 returns. This raises the contact 30 and again lets it drop to break the circuit. Specification No. 2629, A.D. 1906, is referred to.
